Draft Grade — Chargers
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB+
Larceny in Round 1, Pick 32 lands the Chargers a B+, Turner and all.

The trade table was a mismatch, and the Chargers were on the right end of it, hauling in a fortune in surplus value. More right than wrong, and a B+ to match.

The quarterback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at. The Turner value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. The Chargers clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick16 Rnd1 Taliese Fuaga
In the 16th overall pick they get a long-term starter on the line. A real need, handled.
Pick32 Rnd1 Dallas Turner
In slot 32 they get a premier pass rusher at a price that makes it sweeter. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick37 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
No edge and no loss on Xavier Legette in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick49 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 49 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. The roster fit checks out.
Pick57 Rnd2 Zach Frazier
Zach Frazier in No. 57 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick69 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick74 Rnd3 Mike Sainristil
They took Mike Sainristil at par in slot 74, which is nothing to complain about. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick80 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Fair-plus on Blake Corum, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick87 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They paid a round early for Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot, more than the board wanted. It fills a real need, too.
Pick101 Rnd4 Jaden Hicks
They paid sticker price for Jaden Hicks in pick No. 101, and that is fine. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick114 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They let Khyree Jackson come to them and pounced at No. 114. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick123 Rnd4 Justin Eboigbe
By-the-book stuff, Justin Eboigbe at the 123rd overall pick squarely in line with his ranking. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick124 Rnd4 Tommy Eichenberg
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at pick 124, value and slot in agreement. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick142 Rnd5 Braelon Allen
They jumped the gun on Braelon Allen, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick164 Rnd5 Justin Rogers
They did well to land Justin Rogers in the Round 5 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick183 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slid further than he should have, and the 183rd overall pick is lovely value for the running back. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick226 Rnd7 Jontrey Hunter
Jontrey Hunter at the 226th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
Pick238 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at No. 238 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
